This exhibition shows work by ten artists that to varying
extents deal with ideas of contemporary Romanticism through
presenting visions of the future and reflecting upon a nostalgic
and natural past. The difficulty with representing classically
beautiful landscapes, memory and the yearning for ‘Homelands’
at present clash with the disenfranchisement of a lost wilderness
into domesticated, sub-urban, plastic and supermarket-ridden
environments. The limitations of a physical Romanticism must
find new routes in the face of a landscape ever increasingly
shaped by convenience.
